VueJs Server Side Rendering support

[John0x]

Hey, there does not seem to be any advanced control over the login/auth process for users.
I need to be able to support server side rendering with vuejs 2 and therefore I need to be able to use cookies to store the auth token or whatever is used for authentication.
Is there already a solution to this?

So, you need to access the session on your custom server?

I have an express server, that renders my vuejs app on the server and then sends the rendered html to the client. Therefore I need to be able to login the user on the server in order to be able to render user content on the server.
Currently I'm using loopback for my backend. I have the access token stored in a cookie which I can access from both the client(browser) and the server (express), that token gets sent with every request I make to my rest api in order to login the user and request protected data.

What's the process of cloudboost for this?
I need to able to give the session or token or whatever cloudboost uses manually to the client sdk.

If you're already doing a session management with loopback, you can still use the CloudUser on the client and log the user in on the client side, once the user is successfully logged in you can create a session (with the CloudBoost UserID, ofcourse the session will be encrypted) on your loopback server.

Let me know if this helps.

@nawazdhandala I'm planning on replacing loopback with cloudboost, so that's sadly not a solution.
